According to sources, Peltz sold his Disney shares at $120 per share, earning approximately $1 billion.
Trian Partners, led by Peltz, called for governance reforms last year, citing Disney's poor management. As part of this effort, Peltz and former Disney Chief Financial Officer (CFO) Jay Rasulo demanded board seats. However, the shareholder meeting held in early April this year, decided by a proxy fight, ended in a decisive victory for Disney's management.
